Good to mention. I' ve covered Applications in "Applications " section, and
Files & Folders in "Browsing files on your computer", so i guess that we are
essentially ok.

To be honest i did't new that Applications and Files & Folders menus, are
named "lenses" and i don't think we have add this term to the book, from the
aspect that it rather confuses the reader with more terms than it helps them
to understand the GUI of Ubuntu.

Cheers !
